Gancho - Variations - Shifting Weight
None
- 00:00
- The way this gancho is different.
- 00:02
- Uh, what we're talking about right now is, so far all
- 00:05
- of the gancho have been the leaders in the center
- 00:08
- and the followers going around, the leader this gancho,
- 00:11
- they're both traveling together.
- 00:14
- And when I first heard about that, I thought, oh,
- 00:15
- that wouldn't feel that much different.
- 00:17
- But it feels very different.
- 00:20
- So, uh, for example, for doing, uh, let's pick this angle
- 00:25
- for doing this back ocho here
- 00:27
- and you're doing a back ocho, da da da da right here,
- 00:32
- uh, relax, relax.
- 00:33
- Um, instead of asking her to go around me
- 00:36
- and GaN chew, I'm asking her to go on the line.
- 00:41
- And now I go with her.
- 00:47
- And if we show that from another angle, same, uh, same.
- 00:51
- Sorry. Let's do here. Yeah. Same position. I go with her.
- 01:00
- Now, for the leaders, as you do this, you want
- 01:02
- to be conscious, just take a step back, mom.
- 01:05
- Yeah. Right. So you wanna be conscious
- 01:08
- that if she's there the instant
- 01:09
- and you're putting your foot here, you know,
- 01:12
- so maybe in step to her heel
- 01:13
- and bending the knee as you come towards her,
- 01:15
- you wanna be careful not to knock off balance.
- 01:17
- Boom. So you're going towards her butt,
- 01:20
- you're leaving enough room for her.
- 01:23
- So be really attentive, where's her access?
- 01:25
- And as you come towards her, there's a sense
- 01:26
- that you might invade her space.
- 01:28
- So with your arms are coming in as you shift
- 01:31
- and as you pop that knee to give room.
- 01:33
- Do you wanna show The rock? No, it's okay. Thank you.
- 01:37
- And then for the followers, uh, it feels more crowded.
- 01:41
- It feel? Yes. The way David does it, it,
- 01:43
- it feels pretty nice, but it would be really easy for it
- 01:45
- to feel really crowded.
- 01:47
- And so then, so that it doesn't feel crowded if I'm,
- 01:50
- let's show in this angle, if I'm shifting with her,
- 01:53
- she's turning her hips away and then that gives extra room.
- 02:00
- Because if you don't turn your hips away,
- 02:02
- then there's once again this sense of, oh, I have
- 02:04
- to be really pigeon toed
- 02:06
- to gancho rather than I turn the hips away. You wanna
- 02:09
- Gun show, turn hips away.
- 02:10
- A fair amount for that, even if you're fairly flexible,
- 02:13
- it's just so much easier.
